In spirit of Grogu and the comedic relief that he tends to

Me and my primos pulling up to see Star Wars,
02:18

02:21
I had my primo Isuijo at the premiere yesterday.
02:26
I have to watch out for my primos.
02:29
there's so many of them.
02:31
I have 34 primos hermanos,
02:33
yeah, all from,
02:34
all, they all,
02:35
they all stayed in Chile.
02:36
My sister and I,
02:37
we grew up in the states.
02:38
We're the two gringos of the familia,
02:41
yeah, and no matter what,
02:42
the, the, the primos are,
02:44
the, the primos are people that will jump into a ship
02:46
with you and go,
02:48
ride or die.
02:49
I think that is something all Latinos can relate to,
02:52
Pedro, before I go.
02:53
It means so much to see you representing us Latinos on the
02:56
big screen. What does that mean for you as you carry
02:59
on to your next projects?
03:00
Being a part of a community is probably the most important and
03:04
valuable part of any experience.
03:07
It goes as far back as to my earliest theater days with
03:11
the,
03:12
a company called Labyrinth which was Latino actor,
03:15
based,,
03:16
theater., that,
03:18
you know, grew into something much larger and,
03:20
and I, I just want more and more and more Latinos
03:23
in the Star Wars universe and more Latinos in,
03:25
in, in, in every universe because the the Latin diaspora
03:29
is,, a literal representation of race and culture from
03:35
the entire world. Pedro has spoken so publicly and lovingly about
03:40
being a longtime fan of yours.
03:42
After sharing this experience together,
03:45
what's something. You came to appreciate the most about having him
03:48
as a scene partner.
03:49
What a beautiful question.
03:51
It's true. When I was making the movie,
03:53
I was working with Brendan Wayne,
03:55
who's one of the three actors playing Mandalorian because Pedro was working
03:59
of course, nonstop.
04:00
And so I'm really getting to know Pedro now in the course
04:04
of all this promotion,
04:06
and he's such a great actor,
04:08
but he's such a great person.
04:10
He seems so sincere and passionate about things.
04:14
It, it It's just what a wonderful business we're in that
04:18
you get to meet other actors and find out that along the
04:22
way, some of your work inspired them when they were just
04:25
starting out. It's a cool thing.
04:26
Something I truly love about your career is that your performances have
04:30
connected across cultures and languages.
04:33
Recently, a lot of Latino and Spanish speaking fans were very
04:37
emotional revisiting that moment where you honored your longtime Spanish voice actress
04:42
Maria Luisa Sola.
04:44
Have you ever heard your performances in Spanish?
04:47
I have. That's really why I wanted to give a shout
04:51
out to her because there's something so beautiful,
04:55
and visceral about Spanish,
04:57
and,, I think that the roles I've played,
05:02
I try to say things very simply.
05:04
When I hear them in Spanish,
05:06
they're not only direct,
05:08
but they also have this kind of I don't know,
05:12
there's power, passion,
05:13
yeah, it's passion,
05:15
it's heat, it's,
05:16
you know, and,
05:17
and I just,,
05:19
I mean, I wish I spoke Spanish,
05:21
you know, I,
05:22
I just think it's a wonderful language and I,
05:24
I'm still so moved by the fact that Spain gave me the
05:29
Goya and that I had an opportunity to.
05:32
To mention Maria, and you spoke so beautifully in Spanish.
05:36
I will say I listened to your speech and well done.
05:39
Well, thank you very much.
05:41
That's encouraging because I would love to learn Spanish.
05:43
Oh, thank you.
05:46
Lastly, what's one thing you love about Grogu?
05:49
I guess I love his sincerity.
05:52
Yes, he's a child,
05:53
but also He is also a being who's 50 years old.
05:57
I feel he's so much himself and he's very impulsive.
06:02
His attachment to the Mandalorian,
06:04
as we find out in this movie,
06:06
is so, to me it was almost a surprise to see
06:10
how much it activated him and how much it changed him,
06:14
and I think this is also a beautiful love story between Mando
06:18
and Grogu, and it's a very tender and touching story as
06:22
well as being An incredible action thriller,
06:27
Star Wars adventure.
06:28
Truly is Familia M too in theaters May 22nd.
06:32
You do not want to miss it.
